They knew he was a small dude when they drafted him, why spend a 2nd rd pick on him if they didn't think they he could hold up a full season? Why wait til season 4 to show case him just to prove to the league if he can last as a starter, and if he can, why let him go?? Your basically saying they are paying him 10 mil to see if he can last a season...what have they been doing the last 3 when they had him on the cheap??
He wasn’t good enough to start over the top three. McVay didn’t sleep through the last few seasons. He’s so detailed and remembers everything. He didn’t miss something in Tutu’s game.
Supposedly? He actually did supplant Tutu. Maybe this has something to do with Robinson’s DUI charges. Or it could simply be that they feel he is slowing down.
How about we just give the kid a fuckin chance right? Not like talking about him is going to change McVay's mind
Wasn't an argument, I agree he took the third receiving job. I used the term "supposedly" facetiously, it just doesn't come across in text format. Sorry for the confusion. I just don't see the logic to let someone like Robinson walk for a cheaper deal while replacing him for the receiver he beat out and giving that player a more expensive contract, all just to prove something to the league for next season. I feel McVay has more in mind for Tutu. It seems like we may have to agree to disagree, brotherman.
And there I think is a very good point. It’s worth it to them to do MAYBE a slight overpay for one year to see if he can hold up with more targets. That could really be all there is to it.
I’ll take a stab. 100+ rushing, and 700+ receiving. I think he’ll be on the field for 60+% of the offensive snaps - unless Mumps (a very different skill set) shines.
I don't have your answers. I just know that a one year deal is always going to have "prove it" baked in.
Outside of tds Tutu was the better reciver more yards on less targets and a better catch percentage and Tutu was graded as a better blocker … tbh kupp should have been taken off the field more in favor of tutu
Tutu is honestly a decent receiver but the perception of playing a guy the size of most freshmen in high school is hard to knock, even for a forward thinking coach like McVay. I really have to wonder what the thought process was on draft day if they haven't been able to get past that fact on Sundays..
Well if McVay's plan is to run more 12 sets, with a big bodied MFer in that slot, then keeping Tutu around as your WR3 sort of makes sense. I think it was too expensive and I don't believe in Tutu in general, but he knows the offense, adds the speed we badly require outside that hash, and maybe he's been turning a corner in practice to where they figure the dice roll is worth it.
OkYou should have called McVay and told him to bench Kupp
I’m sure he’d appreciate the guidance.
Kupp became not a need with puka ascending they need more speed on the field and tutu is best as roll Man U notice how Mcvay said that tutu was at his best when he was replacing kupp when he was hurt … I expect 12 personnel but expect a learning curve with fergusonYou should have called McVay and told him to bench Kupp
I’m sure he’d appreciate the guidance.
